Anyone know about these tranny shops.
1) "The Toy Shop" in Ontario, Ca.
2) "Finish Line" in Wood Dale, IL.
Looking to get a 4L80E built for my 540 with approx 600-700 hp. Only going to be street driven.

GM has already done it for you. Go to any GM dealership and order up a GM Performance Parts 4l85e transmission. And they come with a 2400 stall converter.

Since your location is listed as NY why not check here.

ckperformance looks pretty good.
As far as I can find, the 4L85E is only rated at 460 lb/ft which might be borderline for my motor but I appreciate the info.
Anyone else know anything about the other two, especially "Finish Line"?

Don't let the ratings fool you. The 4l85e will easily handle the horsepower you're planning. I've used many of the 4l80s and 4l85s in higher HP applications and never had a problem. GM is definitely conservative on these ratings, but I can understand your apprehension if you're not familiar with these transmissions.

I would also recommend CK Performance. MyTH400 is from them. Heck, you may be able to drive to the shop, check things out and talk to the owner Chris. Good luck
